Robyn Ott is the 2004-2005 Managing Editor for the Oklahoma Journal of Law and Technology. She wrote this eBrief while working under the direction of Professor Drew Kershen on the Project on Intellectual Property Rights in Living Matter. Below, Ms. Ott gives an overview of patentability requirements in India for plants, animals, and microorganisms. India is a signatory country to the Trade Rela...

Recently Ott, Tomforde and Willis introduced a notion of one-sided shifts over infinite alphabets and proposed a definition for sliding block codes between such shift spaces. In this work we propose a more general definition for sliding block codes between Ott-Tomforde-Willis shift spaces and then we prove Curtis-Hedlund-Lyndon type theorems for them, finding sufficient and necessary conditions...

The rising influence of user-generated online reviews (Cone, 2011) has led to growing incentive for businesses to solicit and manufacture DECEPTIVE OPINION SPAM—fictitious reviews that have been deliberately written to sound authentic and deceive the reader. Recently, Ott et al. (2011) have introduced an opinion spam dataset containing gold standard deceptive positive hotel reviews. However, th...

We present a model-independent study aimed at characterising the nature of possible resonances in the jetphoton or jet-Z final state at hadron colliders. Such resonances are expected in many models of compositeness and would be a clear indication of new physics. At leading order, in the narrow width approximation, the matrix elements are parameterised by just a few constants describing the coup...

This chapter explains how the movie industry has to face new challenges closely related to globalization, technology innovation (digitization), industrial convergence, and new consumer demand since the end of the 1990s. Market has evolved towards an oligopolistic structure, and technology changes are affecting both content production and distribution. Consequently, this sector has been confront...
